Flexible SilosThis range of flexible silos provides tailor-made solutions for quick, efficient, and safe storing of bulk solids and ingredients in most industries. Unlike steel or aluminum silos, Spirostore flexible silos are made of a durable yet flexible polyester fabric supported on a steel frame. The silos can store up to 7000 cu ft of dry bulk material and support weights up to 90,000 lb. They are custom-manufactured in terms of shape, size, and the type of polyester fabric selected. These are adapted to suit each customer’s specific requirements in terms of space available, exact product specifications, and how the product should be discharged. The silos are suitable for almost any indoor or other weatherproof location and can be connected to flexible screw, aeromechanical, pneumatic, and vacuum conveyor systems to fill and/or empty the stored material.Spiroflow Systems, Charlotte, NC 704-291-9595 www.spiroflowsystems.com
